Hi Chris,

 

 

The final result for us was that WebLogic 10.3.4 would not recognize the WL-Proxy-SSL header until we enabled the "Weblogic Plugin Enabled" option in the WebLogic Admin Console. Once we enabled that option the SSL off-loading worked as expected.

 

 

The second issue we were experiencing was that some applications in the new version of Oracle SOA Suite 11g were not working correctly over HTTPS through the F5. Some of the large javascript files were intermittently failing to be loaded through the F5. Our network engineer disabled compression on the https profile and that resolved the issue.

 

 

Regards,

 

Mike
